I decided I needed an external hard drive enclosure. Keeping files in sync between my desktop and laptop is a pain. I own Groove but I hate it (I should write a post on that at some point...). I don't know many options for easy syncing between network machines, but it shouldn't be such a pain. Regardless, it's nice to just have the files separate from the machines. I'll keep my Virtual PC images on there, my documents, and a/v work I'm in the middle of. I ordered a 200GB (or was it 250GB?) drive separately. It'll be there tomorrow. This should help things a bit.
Just for information's sake, the device I ordered was this one. It's only $21.50 with nothing added for shipping! I got mine in three days and am very satisfied. It has a nice stand, power cord, USB cable. Everything you need.
My goal is to create a BartPE bootable CD that has Virtual PC preinstalled. This would enable me to boot up any machine (Windows, Linux, just not Mac architecture), then select a Virtual PC hard drive image from the USB drive and it would be like the ulimate portable workstation. Stay tuned for details on that one!
